Flipping Rows and ColumnsTransposing (flipping rows and columns) is a special copy feature you might need to use if you want to change the layout of your worksheet. For example, suppose your worksheet is set up with quarters in rows and divisions in columns, but that your boss prefers the opposite: quarters in columns and divisions in rows. In a case such as this one, you can flip the worksheet.  Watch Video – Google Sheets TRANSPOSE Guide (Using Formula and Paste Special) In this tutorial, I will show two ways to quickly transpose data in Google Sheets. Transposing the data means that you change the orientation where the rows become columns and the columns become the rows (as shown below). In Google Sheets, there are two easy ways to transpose data (i.e., switch rows and columns):
The method you choose to swap rows and columns will depend on whether you want the data to be static or dynamic (covered in detail in the sections later). So let’s get started! TRANSPOSE Function Google Sheets SyntaxThe TRANSPOSE function only uses one argument and goes as follows: TRANSPOSE(array_or_range)
Using the TRANSPOSE Function to Switch Columns and Rows in Google SheetsOne of the reasons I love Google Sheets because it has some useful functions that make life easy when working with data. And TRANSPOSE function is one of these. Suppose you have the dataset as shown below: If you want to transpose the above dataset, you can use the formula below: =TRANSPOSE(A1:B11) I have entered the above formula in cell D1, so it transposes the data from D1:N2. Note that you don’t need to worry about the exact range where the data would be transposed and placed, All you need to do is enter the formula in the cell where you want the transpose data to begin (D1 in our example) and Google Sheet will automatically transpose the entire data and give you the result. The only thing you need to ensure is that there are empty cells to accommodate the transposed data. If there is any cell that has some text/number or even a space character, TRANSPOSE formula wouldn’t work and give you a reference error. Also, when you hover the cursor over the error, it will tell you exactly which cell has data already so you can correct that. When you use the TRANSPOSE function, it only gives you the values and not the formatting. The result that you get from using the TRANSPOSE function is dynamic. This means that if you change anything in the original dataset, that change would automatically be reflected in the resulting transposed data. Also, this is an array formula, so you can not delete any part of the resulting data. If you want to delete it, you need to delete the entire dataset. In case you overwrite any of the cells, the entire resulting dataset would vanish and you will see the reference error in the top-left cell. This would automatically revert as soon as you clear the cell. Using Paste Special to Transpose Google Sheets DataRelated Reading: How to Convert PDF to Google Sheets Here is another way to learn how to transpose in Google Sheets. Suppose you have the dataset below that you want to transpose. Below are the steps to do this:
This will paste the transposed data starting with the cell which you selected while pasting. Note that this technique copies and paste everything – including values, formulas, formatting, etc. If you only want to copy the values and not the formula or formatting, you need to first copy and paste the transposed data, then copy it again and paste as values only. Since we are copying and pasting the data, it’s not dynamic (unlike the TRANSPOSE formula). This means that if you make any changes in the original dataset, the changes wouldn’t be reflected in the transposed data. How to Transpose Data in Google Sheets FAQDoes Google Sheets Have a Transpose Function?Yes, you can use the TRANSPOSE function or Paste special from the paste menu to flip data in Google Sheets. Where Is Google Sheets Transpose?If you ever have trouble finding a function in Google Sheets, you can navigate to Insert > Function and search for the function. How Do I Transpose Columns and Rows in Google Sheets?Heres how to flip rows and columns in Google Sheets with the TRANSPOSE function:
How Do I Transpose Data From One Sheet to Another?You just have to use a Sheet reference as the range argument in the TRANSPOSE function. For example, if you wanted to use the range B1:D9 in Sheet 1, you could use the following formula. =TRANSPOSE('Sheet 1'!B1:D9)Wrapping up the Google Sheets Invert Rows and Columns GuideSo these are the two Google Sheets can swap rows and columns. It is a simple function and works across sheets using Sheet references as the range. If you found this Google Sheets transpose guide useful, you may also like the following tutorials:
